Summerfields Primary Academy

About Summerfields Primary Academy

Summerfields Primary Academy is the sixth-highest-performing primary school in the Barnsley local authority, sitting in the top 10% of the 70 primaries ranked on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. The three schools ahead of it locally are Hoylandswaine Primary School, Thurgoland Church of England Primary School, and Hunningley Primary Academy. Headteacher Lisa Tabbner leads this mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, which is full to capacity with exactly 210 pupils. The school has improved significantly since its previous Ofsted inspection in January 2020, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall and in most categories. In its most recent graded inspection in October 2023, every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good, a consistent improvement across the board that points to a school that has found its footing under current leadership.
